Frequently Asked Questions
AI is technology that enables computers to learn from data, recognise patterns, and make decisions — similar to how humans think, but processing millions of data points in seconds. Think of it as teaching a computer to be smart about specific tasks.
India uses AI across sectors — from Aadhaar's biometric identification (1.3 billion users) to crop disease detection apps for farmers, AI-powered customer service in banking, and predictive maintenance in manufacturing. The government's Digital India initiative is a major driver.
